For the past twenty years, Bruno Haroche, portrayed by Vincent Cassel, and Malik, played by Reda Kateb, have dedicated their lives to a unique and challenging mission: working with autistic children and teenagers. Their commitment goes beyond typical care, immersing themselves in a world that many find difficult to navigate. Through their unwavering passion, they have cultivated deep relationships with these young individuals, providing them with the support and understanding they deserve.
Bruno and Malik helm two distinct nonprofit organizations—The Hatch and The Shelter—that serve as sanctuaries for those often overlooked by society. These organizations focus on training young people from underprivileged neighborhoods, equipping them with the skills and compassion necessary to care for extreme cases of autism that other institutions have declined to accept. This innovative approach not only empowers the caregivers but also fosters a community built on empathy and resilience.
Their partnership is extraordinary in every sense, operating outside traditional frameworks to create a haven for remarkable individuals. Through their work, Bruno and Malik challenge societal norms and highlight the profound impact of dedicated care. The Specials is a heartfelt exploration of human connection, perseverance, and the transformative power of compassion in the face of adversity.
